Norman Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 So the pattern continues for us in U19 World cup finals.. Lost in 2016 Won in 2018 Lost in 2020 Won in 2022 Lost in 2024 Not too bad when compared to the choking standards set by the senior jokers but still I feel we could have easily demolished WI in 2016 and Bangla in 2020. Our batters failed big time in both finals.. This Australian team is just too good though. No real blame to Saharan and co... rollingstoned, Bigg Brother, Vijy and 4 others 3 1 3 Link to comment

A very pleasant and a much needed change in mentality at the grassroot levels. Our tail has been competent ever since the 2018 edition. Bowlers didn't look like absolute mugs.. raki05 1 Link to comment
Lord Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 2023 Finals was revenge for 2003. 2024 WT20 would be revenge for 2003,2023 and this Link to comment
Norman Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I see atleast 5-6 guys in this Australian side that could go and have prominent international careers. raki05, Bigg Brother and Lord 1 2 Link to comment
raki05 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Make no mistakes kids punch above their weight…. All complain is against napunshak like laxman and bcci. Lacu acted like sarkari babu who was just their to receive paycheck without doing anything. No wonder if he doesn’t remember the name of playing xi , its that level of incompetence.

Norman Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Only gripe is that our captain made childish remarks before the game with something like "we can't lose to Australia again".. raki05 and nitinbwj 2 Link to comment

nsareen Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) well i was fearing for this too happen, i will say the team management was over confident and showed very less adaptability to respect the conditions, when the 3rd over was bowled by saumy pandey, it showed india lost the match… laxman , kanitkar shoukd take up the loss and do a press conference how they couldn’t understand the conditions and only preferred same players in all the matches even when we had two good seamers in the dug out and an opener who was a run machine back in india , who we never thought too gave a chance even in one game..

Bits and pieces players don't win anything in any format. Been saying that for a while. Our u19s have been pushing in this direction, going for depth in batting over picking specialist bowlers. The reason why we don't pick leggies as @Lone Wolf has rightly pointed out is we go for finger spinners who can bat. It was started by Dravid for 2018 side where we had 3 SLAs A decent #8 is good, we don't need a #10 who can bat Edited February 11 by Vickydev putrevus and Lone Wolf 1 1 Link to comment

Secondary skills should come next having said that if bowler is walking into the team based on just bowling, he better be closer to Glenn Mgcrath than to Mukesh Kumar. Mukesh Kumar is useless in both departments. Edited February 11 by putrevus Link to comment
Lone Wolf Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Make no mistake India has not lost but Je Sa's BCCI XI with jhaantu Coach & mentor has lost. Incompetent board & average Bande with average results. Well deserved thrashing. Long may it continue. New guy and nitinbwj 1 1 Link to comment
